10 Types of 30-Year-Old Single Guys

30-year-old guys are a curious bunch.

Find me a group of 30-year-old men and I’ll pick out one overgrown frat dude living with roommates, another guy who just dropped his two kids off at school, a few who are well into their careers and a couple soul-searchers looking for work. Some will tell you that they’ve finally figured it all out and some more will say they feel hopeless for the first time in their lives. It’s a motley crew.

But perhaps the motliest part of this crowd is the ever-growing group of 30-year-old single guys. If you want a case study in humanity, 30-year-old single guys have pretty much all the bases covered. Let’s examine some of the common types:


1) The Total Package

total package

The Total Package is smart—he went to a top college. The Total Package is an athlete, a musician, and an avid traveler. The Total Package is handsome—and you better believe he’s well-groomed.

The Total Package has a hell of a career going, but don’t you for a second suggest that The Total Package would be a workaholic—The Total Package is a family man.

There’s just one thing The Total Package seems to be having a hard time finding—a girl worthy of his greatness.

Yes, the woman fit for The Total Package will be the ultimate icing on his cake of perfection. He imagines her often—gorgeous as they come, she turns heads; bursting with charm and charisma, she lights up every room she enters; she’s a brilliant rising star in her career and beloved by her many friends. And that’s just her public persona—at home, she’s fantastic in bed, a spectacular cook, loving, selfless, and devoted. Oh and she also speaks French, plays tennis, sings beautifully, reads voraciously and she’s a history buff. His Juliet.

Unsurprisingly, The Total Package is single. He’s immersed in a fierce battle between his superhuman standards and his terror of being 40 and single—because 40 and single is not supposed to be part of The Total Package’s story.

2) The New Lease On Life Guy

lease on life

As long as anyone can remember, The New Lease On Life Guy had been dating his longterm girlfriend. He never seemed that happy in the relationship, but everyone just assumed they would eventually get married. Now, after a long and difficult breakup, The New Lease On Life Guy has reemerged with a bang and is suddenly acting like he just got called down on The Price Is Right. He’s not really sure how to be single but he’s goddamn happy he is, and he’s sure as hell going out tonight.

He’s also the arch-nemesis of The Resigned Fiance, who’s in an equally unhappy relationship but just kind of kept going with it, unable to resist the sweet, sweet inertia, and who most certainly does not want to hear about The New Lease On Life Guy’s latest exploits.


3) The Guy Who Has To Marry Someone Of The Same Ethnicity Or His Parents Will Never Speak To Him Again

ethnicity

It’s hard enough finding someone to be your life partner, and this guy’s parents are really not making things any easier. He tried to rebel briefly, but after his last girlfriend was not allowed in his parents’ house, causing her to cry, he gave up on that.

He’d also really appreciate it if his mother would stop setting him up on dates.


4) The Misogynist

misogynist

The Misogynist hates women, and women hate The Misogynist. The Misogynist doesn’t know a whole lot about the other gender, but he can tell you the exact number of them he’s slept with—214.

He did quite well with girls back in his earlier days when many were in their attracted to assholes phase, but lately, only those with the lowest self-esteem seem to gravitate towards him.

The Misogynist’s close cousin is The Perpetual Cheater. They’re different but they understand each other.


5) The Guy Who Peaked Too Early

peaked early

Back in the day, The Guy Who Peaked Too Early had everything a 17-year-old girl could ever dream of. His sky-high confidence carried him smoothly through college, and no one was surprised when he landed a smart, sweet, beautiful girlfriend in his early 20s. But The Guy Who Peaked Too Early was just getting started. There was a field that needed to be played, and he broke up with his girlfriend when he was 24.

Now it’s seven years later, his hair got bored and left, and his high school lacrosse glory isn’t part of the conversation that much these days. And he’s noticing that girls like his ex-girlfriend don’t seem to be all that into him anymore. Realizing this about five years after everyone else, he takes a deep sigh and cranks his standards down a few big notches.

6) The Guy Who’s Finally a Good Catch

Finally a Good Catch

On the other side of the coin, after losing some weight, getting decent clothes, and having early career success, The Guy Who’s Finally a Good Catch is getting more attention each week than he got in his first 25 years combined. Girls find it endearing that such an appealing guy has managed to maintain his humility, when it’s actually just that he’s assuming every girl is out of his league at all times.

Once his new situation starts to sink in, he enters an unfortunate new phase, stressing his male friends out by doing things like winking at them over the shoulder of a girl he’s dancing with and offering them a fist pound when an attractive girl walks by on the street.

7) The Normal Guy Who Just Hasn’t Met The Right Girl Yet And He Really Wishes People Would Stop Looking At Him With Those Pitying Eyes

normal guy

Ah, The NGWJHMTRGYAHRWPWSLAHWTPE. The NGWJHMTRGYAHRWPWSLAHWTPE is enjoying his life. He likes his job, he likes his friends, and he likes being single just fine. He’s in no rush to be in a relationship and feels totally confident that at some point, he’ll meet the right girl and get married.

He’s also not quite sure why everyone who knows him is trying to figure out “what the problem is.” His parents are worried, never wasting an opportunity to ask him if he’s been dating anyone. His friends want to help, setting him up on dates every chance they get. He appreciates all the unsolicited support, but he also thinks it would be pretty great if everyone stopped thinking there was something wrong with him.


8) The Aggressively Online Dating Guy Who Can’t Believe He’s Not Married Yet

can't believe not married

The opposite of the previous guy, The Aggressively Online Dating Guy Who Can’t Believe He’s Not Married Yet can’t believe he’s not married yet. Through high school, college and his twenties, he was always The Guy With A Girlfriend. He spent years enjoying pitying his single friends, and somehow, he’s now 30 and single.

He has four online dating profiles, and when people ask him if he’s dating anyone, he explains that he’s just too busy with his career right now for a relationship.

9) The In-The-Closet Guy

in the closet

The In-The-Closet Guy is so close to being the perfect catch—he’s handsome, he’s well-dressed, and he has a great job. He’s funny, articulate, and charming. The only tiny little inconvenience is that he’s not attracted to females whatsoever.

His antithesis is The NGWJHMTRGYAHRWPWSLAHWTPE, who’s had just enough of the theories about him being gay, since he’s completely straight and, for the hundredth time, just hasn’t met the right girl yet and is really very okay with being single right now.


10) The Guy Who Has Just Fully Quit At This Point

quit

The Guy Who Has Just Fully Quit At This Point never tried that hard in the first place, but at least there used to be a semblance of effort. He doesn’t like going to bars, refuses to try online dating, and both the bong and the X-Box are back in the living room following their brief stint in the closet after his friend gave him a pep talk one day four months ago.

Deep down, The Guy Who Has Just Fully Quit At This Point is pretty frightened about a lot of things, but his fear manifests itself in indifferent denial, and passivity usually prevails. There is only one way that things change for The Guy Who Has Just Fully Quit At This Point, and that’s to find himself squarely in the sights of The Girl Who Relentlessly Pursues. Until then, the whole thing isn’t really his issue.

    Gotta say I definetly can relate to number 10 and I think theres a lot more number 10s out there then people think. Especially when social skills and dating skills aren’t something that can be teached. I mean they sorta can but not really. Theres no guides or manuals. Theres tips but you pretty much figure out it all by yourself with absolutely no help in any way shape or form. You learn one way or another. Once you figure out the game or think you have a mental grasp on it then you realize how truly difficult and complicated it is and how many factors in it you cannot control. Also one person beliefs and experiences etc in dating may not hold true at all for the next person or they may be the opposite. At this point what do I need a gf for besides the sex? I don’t want kids and im 99 percent sure Im never falling in love or getting married so I guess that works for me. Also I see nothing wrong with prostitution as long as completely done out of free will. Theres a stigma that if you pay for sex your a loser but honestly I don’t see it that way. Yeah sure anyone can go out and get a gf or hook up but the difficulty and chances of success for 1 man may be vastly different then as opposed to the next man but the main thing is you aren’t 100 percent guaranteed to get laid. Now if you pay for it that’s about a 99.9 percent guarantee excluding extenuating circumstances and besides your gonna pay for it either way so yeah.

      Always said it – the double-standards is amazing.. Most chics go like “Just because you spent no me does not guarantee sex”, which is perfectly fine, except that if you don’t spend you definitely are not even getting any second glance with a retort thrown your way “I don’t do stingy guys”. So What is left? Like handing over money to some convenience shop till guy and hoping they let you have the merchandise? I guess it’s like lotto, where you definitely spend but cross your hands and hope the stars align

    I think Anglo society (US, UK, Canada, Australia) is too obsessed with “masculinity”.
    They punish young men for not marrying, endorse bullying to “toughen up the younguns”, freak out about boys jacking off to porn and playing video games, turn a blind eye to financial crises to befall the young, etc.

    Marriage isn’t worth it at all for men these days since a lot of these low life slutty women usually always win out in court as it is most of the time, especially if they have children. So the court system always fails us men, even though these very pathetic women sleep around so much. Been there.

      It is absolutely awful in California. An acquaintance of mine who was a part time worker lost full custody to his 3 kids to a woman who cheated on him with 5 different men on business trips. The only reason is because she could afford top of the line lawyers, and California, despite being a progressive, democratic state, still has a court system that believes that only mothers can be good parents, even though this man did 75% of the parenting. I don’t wish to sound like a woman hater because Lord knows they get screwed in society in various ways as well, but I was STUNNED when this man lost all custody. Anyone who CHEATS in a relationship doesn’t even deserve PARTIAL custody. It sets a horrendous example for the children that cheating has zero consequences.

        Thank God that most women back in the past were never like today at all, which is why most marriages really did last back then. The courts always favor the women most of the time since they have children, unless if you could really prove that she is an unfit mother.

        Well for your information a lot of women do sleep around all the time, and they really do have a problem committing to only one man unfortunately. Very slutty low life loser women everywhere these days, and i was married at one time and very happy too before the loser Ex low life wife cheated which destroyed my marriage. And i know other friends that had it happened to them as well, and they were very happy, committed, and loved their Ex wives just like i did too before this happened to us. And at that time that we were married, we really thought that we had finally met the right good woman for us after going out for so many years before this happened to us. Most women back in the old days were very committed to their men at that time, and today most of them are real Whores unfortunately. So there are a lot of us men that can be committed to only one woman, and the way how women have changed for the worst of all is the real reason why most marriages are failing these days since they really are very much too blame in the first place.

    Will you friggin’ STOP stereotyping men. I am 44. I was never interested in dating women until their 40’s because I never wanted to have kids. This is why I am befuddled why men who are over 40 who have never been married are among the biggest red flags when it comes to online dating. It is insane. Some men just don’t want to have kids, and unlike other men, they do not lie about it to single women who deeply desire to have families. Men like me view our GOLDEN years for dating as being in our forties because it is at that time that most women don’t want to have kids. I am not a player. I am not a mama’s boy. I am not emotionally immature. I just want to date women that do not want to have kids, and 90% of them prior to the age of 40 do. And because I am not a gazillionaire, tall, dark and handsome, my chances of landing someone at 32 who didn’t wish to have babies was not very good. I needed to wait until now.

    Guys wanting sex with attractive women is the exact equivalent of women preferring to sleep with men with money. That said, a female 6 is the equivalent of a male 8 in the dating arena, and there are many more non-ugly male virgins at 30 than there are ugly female virgins of the same age. Life, it turns out, is Unfair for structural reasons (it starts with the biological fact that one egg is more valuable than millions of sperm cells)… but if you’re clever enough, you can make it fair for yourself. You can’t just sit there pointing out the Unfairness of it all and moaning and joining large groups of fuckless, moaning men (yipes). I was born poor, luckily not ugly, luckily intelligent… and I ended up getting pretty much everything I wanted (without even sucking corporate cock!). I have a beautiful Wife twenty years younger than I am and she fucks me quite willingly, quite regularly… we’ve been together very happily for 16 years! Use your brain. Address the problem. Overcome it.

      Thanks for the hope.
      Seems to be my life trajectory too, fingers crossed.
      I feel like a number 4 (mysoginist), but quite possibly more number 6 (finally half decent). Problem is, I’m only finally half decent because I am no longer such an asshole to women.
      Unfortunately, somewhere in the last few years, the women became the assholes, and I am slowly becoming number 10. I go to night clubs, dance all night, get “hit on” by women who invariably just want attention (and often have bfs at home) and so ignore them, go home feeling more lonely.

      But I did meet an awesome woman lately. Situation was too complicated to work out (legit was), but it also gave me hope. And she was also about 10 years younger than me, so yeh… I am refusing to panic.

      But the general situation sucks balls.

    I’m 10, but I only tried online dating and bars. That was until I worked out that 80% of the people on online dating in my city were males and only a small amount were females. Explains why the odds were so bad. Even bars have bad odds, mostly guys in bars. I gave up because I don’t agree that males should have to persue and do all the work and women still get the final choice and be picky even after they are persued and made no effort themselves. I don’t support something that is unfair from a gender equality point of view and disconnected myself from this “system”. Kind of like a protest. Then I realised there is a group which follows my beliefs called MGTOW. I was waiting in line outside a nightclub tonight – I watched a group of women jump the line and were given access without lining up into a nightclub. I have a problem with things like this and voice my opinion about things like this to make the world aware of the problems and why I think women are privileged. I believe men don’t support what I just said because they are afraid that women will stop liking them for supporting what is actually right and just think with their dick.

          I don’t really fit into any of these categories. I’m a guy who is highly successful in his career, goes out every weekend and does day game, tells every pretty girl on the street they are attractive but every girl turns me down for a date or I get to date 2 and the women goes silent for date 3 with no explanation and also single my whole life for 34 years.

            If you want a break from the 4chan trolls, and their always hilarious repetition of the same jokes (women belong in the kitchen, you should just one-night-stand your way through these dumb women, they’re all fat, worthless, soon to be lesbians. A laughing riot guys, I hope you’re paying attention here, you’re going to populate this list of single, 30 year old men in not too long.) You might have to just take another look at yourself, what you are doing, and what qualities you have. You can’t just say all that, especially at your age, and not see that you blame literally everyone but yourself for being single. Maybe, just maybe, after ~20 years of dating, it might not be everyone else, and you might be the problem. As much as I know you might see this as derogatory towards you, but as someone who was single forever, I finally had to seriously change my thinking to have a relationship. I don’t know if you’ll ever get back to this site to see this comment, but if you want to be in a relationship, you definitely can’t just blame everything else for you being single. After a while, statistically even, it’s not possible that it’s everyone else, it’s just not. You have to have something that you need to work on, bc if you’re basically a nice guy, you shouldn’t be repeating a pattern of 1-3 dates and then you never hear anything again. You have to have a good, hard look at your behaviors, your speech — everything, and genuinely find and fix the problem. Or you’re going to be a grown example for all these trolls on here, alone in their 30s wondering what happened.

            Top notch trolling guys, keep it up. Women really love this attitude, and considering that I know none of you have the balls to talk like this in real life, if you do ever manage to convince some poor woman to pay attention to you long enough, they are going to be just as pissed finding out you say this shit in private as they would in public. So amazing job as usual; forgetting the fact that you are posting publicly, permanently, on the Internet, leaving this misogynistic crap so you can be found out later (which is an act as well, you’re only capable of thinking what you are told to think). Real high IQ stuff boys, and you are just a bunch of boys, I don’t see any issues in the future for you with this line of thinking. Seriously though, you retards enjoy your lonely lives or misery. If you put as much effort into real life as you did being an asshole on the Internet, you’d have a life worth living.

              “but if you want to be in a relationship, you definitely can’t just blame everything else for you being single.” – So do the women on online dating that say “There is no good men available” where the ratio is like 3 guys to every girl on online dating get to blame themselves?

And it was the women in the past that really made this world progressed over thousands and thousands of years since the beginning of time, something that most of these very pathetic women can’t do today.

        Women would have rejected you in the 50’s too, TTS.

        There have always been losers in bars complaining about women. No one wrote about them because no one cared about them, and no one cared that they never had a family and their genetic material died out with them.

        That’s where this shitty bitterness will get you. Alone and miserable. You can either grow the fuck out of it now, accept that it isn’t fair, and move on. Or you can keep bitching about dating here and trying to relate it to availability of abortion clinics and rape trials; trying to jam that puzzle piece into your one-sided campaign of hatred against women that are at best indifferent to you.

        Be a fucking man, and make yourself better. Make yourself so good that everyone wants you. Because no one cares what nonsense you have to say about the dating world when no one wants to date you. It just makes you an unlikeable creep.

          That was savage. But to be fair, I wonder if women read this and go, “yup, men are the problem, and I’m perfect.” (Hopefully the authors intent was more for male self reflection). You have a good point tho, love and resentment are mutually exclusive emotions, but you shouldn’t try extinguish the bar men create for women. Otherwise you are left with only women’s bar of themselves, and that not a pretty picture. Idk, I think the post is missing the part that lifts male self-esteem back up, celebrating men, instead of being a list of new insecurities to work thru.

            I’m not a fool, women have a lot of their own problems to work through. A lot of this anti-men rhetoric is actually pretty harmful for feminist discourse, as it partitions male behaviour and blames patriarchy as if men are active agents. It’s a poor analysis of privilege. But as far as TTG goes, he’s obviously gone full incel and would be happier dead than he is now.

              Crusading for feminism? Are you a pawn committed to protecting a branding, or are you committed to the balanced well being of both men and women? TTS speaking his mind means he’s thinking… its a good thing. He obviously has an impression of how interactions between men and women are lacking. He might not understand how women are profiling him, or maybe the women he is trying to befriend and turn intimate are shallow and he’s frustrated. I DONT get that he’s an incel from the comments, tho. But even if he is, his sexuality is important to resolve, isnt it? Unless all we care about is feminist issues.

              Not every man like this is incel. Many can hit up a bar and easily get laid. I forgive you for your oversimplication tho.

              I love that feminism exists, that it represents a conceptual launchpad for women to realize their full potential. I understand why it exists, and they do have a few good points. The problem is that they never point the finger at themselves. Reality hits, and women use it to diminish the importance of what happens to men, use it to blame men for their insecurities rather than become self-aware, use it to take the hard labor of men for granted while they would never even consider sacrificing anything of equal value in return… and no one corrects them without it being an issue. Also the all too common princess attitude is alot like dealing with an “alpha” man that is set on robbing you of any pride as you try to find common ground… they haven’t learned to be around people and feminism just emboldens them, and often tells men: your the problem. Men, you are NOT the problem if she is rediculous. You dont have to take it. All of this swept under the rug, and TTS smells it.

              When is the last time you told off a daft women the way you told off TTS. Surely women have as many faults as men? Perhaps their faults are different? or are women the model of perfection?

              “targetted at his entitlement to a relationship (sex)” —- OK, can we all just admit he’s entitled to WANT sex and/or a relationship regardless of whether he’s found a dignified personal strategy of attraction. The big problem I have with your arguments is that you are actively telling him he can’t dream up his ideal UNTIL he meets women’s ideals. This is telling him he has no place in the discussion of healthy man-woman interaction. This is the same as letting women write all the rules, because you’ve just given them the line.

              Also, Patriarchy only exists if Matriarchy exists. Let’s be real about all forms of power grabbing, and admit we should only use informed reasoning to arrive at conclusions regardless if men are the knowledgable enforcers.

              You need to stop trying to use words you don’t fully understand.

              Patriarchy is a system of societal arrangement. It isn’t “men”; it is a cultural understanding and belief that men are the only ones that can responsibly hold power. It is also inherently distrustful of women. It is also wrong; it is antiquinated and out of touch.

              Your whole ass post is just whataboutism without any critical analysis, because you lack the foundational knowledge and experience with this topic. Go read some feminist literature and then come back when you can stop thinking about feminism as a power grab. How people use sociological concepts does not always reflect upon the tenants of the ideology; as an example, I would argue that the way Americans practice capitalism is a heavily distorted picture of how capitalism was originally envisioned to work.

              Also I heard somewhere that the judicial court extremely favoring women makes the dating even more problematic. That’s why men are getting bitter. Can’t blame him though, not everyone has a heart to get over the fact that the shits are unfair. Can you understand that???

              Months later lmao but, I wonder what you would tell a man that is complaining about the economy. Would you tell him to suck it up, because life is not fair, will not coddle him, and will not conform itself to his expectations?

              Do people deserve a job? Do people deserve a girlfriend? What the hell do you deserve simply for being born?

              The internet is so full of so many clown-ass shits that scream about paying taxes but then unironically act like they deserve a relationship with their dream partner. Their “dream partner”, meanwhile, has busted her ass for a career and a hot body and doesn’t want to waste her time with him. I don’t even know why you conflate that with feminism: wouldn’t you say that is fair?

              Also, I don’t believe in “third wave” feminism as if it was any different from “first wave” and “second wave”. It’s the same ideolgy being taken to logical conclusion: when women first asked for equality, they were told that they were not voters, thus unimportant. Next, they were told they were not workers, thus unimportant. Now, we tell them they’re not “rational”, thus unimportant. It’s the same empty bullshit; moving goalposts to desperately maintain patriarchy.

              But it is dying; sexist men are growing old and alone and bitching on the internet like TTG is here. And nobody cares about you. Unless you change, unless you assume responsibility, you will die alone. The choice is yours. Shut up, or nut up, but give me this pathetic whining after you have at least made an effort.

              But feminism is a power grab. Here’s a crazy concept. Men had the authority in the past but women had a different kind of power afforded to them through societal privilege. We balanced the scales,conceding the benefits male privilege to females but we didn’t do the same for women. We gave them then cake without the calories, the reward without the risk.

              Also @gallowsglass jesus fucking christ you puny little internet shits always moan and bitch the most when people tell them to use inclusive language but you’re always the first to fall back on it for any kind of smug, punk ass reason. Patriarchy is enforced by the way we talk when we use it to oppress women; there is nothing wrong with telling a man to act like a man; you would do it yourself. I’m perfectly able to use a centuries-old expression and still believe in feminist discourse. Try not to die mad about it.

            I was randomly in a psytrance night at a club on Friday, having been dragged in by a group of women I’d been chatting too, after a “friend” killed the evening early and rudely.. “Consider this the first date” she said. On entry, multiple things happened. A, She heavily implied I should buy her a drink. B, She wanted to lurk in the shadows with her friends, nowhere near the actual party… after that cover charge, no. C, When I checked by her later, when debating if it would be wrong to “interact” with other women (literally, return eye contact or just fucking chill), she said we should do what we want (whilst trying to get another guy to buy her a drink). D, I realised I was flat out not actually attracted to her, pretty face or not, and left her to it and danced.

            On the dancefloor, I made a point to bro-shake all the guys wandering about looking a bit lost and confused. Many on drugs, but all seeming like they didn’t know where to look nor who they could talk to. Big power handshake, like Stallone. Make the young men feel loved and seen.
            Felt important somehow.

      Let’s examine some of the common types:
      The Misogynist’s close cousin is The Perpetual Cheater (mentioned, but not in the list).

      To be fair, it’s not really pigeonholing.

      But I agree that a similar article about women would probably get quite the negative reaction.

      Not only due to the ever-present double standards but also to the more recent identity divide in discourse, which chastises people for expressing themselves about matters pertaining to identities that are considered to be more victimized than their own.

          It’s not pigeonholing because it’s not pigeonholing.

          The article doesn’t say every “30-Year-Old Single Guy” fits into one of the 10 types it presents.

          There’s nothing subjective about it.
          Maybe you just don’t understand the concept of pigeonholing.
          Here’s a hint: it implies the existence of a limited number of categories.

              I’m starting to doubt we’re even looking at the same article.

              The list isn’t presented as being complete and even mentions a type that’s not part of it — “The Perpetual Cheater,” as I had previously pointed out.

              Heck, it doesn’t even claim to cover all of the common types.

              You’re the one twisting the definition of pigeonholing into meaninglessness so you can apply it to an article you didn’t like.

              One of the fundamental prerequisites for it to be pigeonholing — a limited number of categories — is simply not there, so accusing it of pigeonholing makes absolutely no sense.

              If you want to criticize it so badly, at least find a plausible fault. I’m sure there’s plenty.

              And to be clear: I’m not trying to defend the article.
              I have no feelings towards it other than mild amusement.

              I came to the article fully prepared to call it out for pigeonholing.
              I was actively looking for it while I was reading the article.
              Heck, I probably only clicked it in the first place because the title made me curious about that.

              Which is why I found issue your comment: I was going to say something along those lines, had it been the case.

            10 is a limited number of categories compared to 100 or 1000. That’s like saying you didn’t put somebody in a box because you put them inside a decahedron. Just because the box has more sides does it mean it’s not still a box.

    Update: Do not fit in any particular one as does not cover the fact as had heart transplant(heart defect at birth did not know). Which did not mention when first posted I said was close to 7 and or 10. As medical issue did not know most my life and almost died turning purple from my heart was dying. Did not give up fully on myself just dating based on this. Started over at 32 basically and now 34. I am in year 2 of my first new plans and goals. Do not think all women are evil and was wrong for me to say that. As when we get hurt in relationship we have to deal with alone and hard to not unleash it at times without hurting anyone else. So, we tend to take it all in and many will blame themselves. Though, its not what is right as need to release it and move on! Stop blaming and move on through accepting that you want to be saved. Starting to listen once again which spent many years not. As in the end our future is dependent not on our decisions but many as what kind of world we want to live in. If you do not care then nobody will care about you.

    Situation is this that I started over with new heart which do not know who’s heart received. So very grateful to getting a 2nd chance and can not explain to how difference it is to getting working heart compared to living most my life with bad heart. I moved back with my parents and getting my life in more order. Not dating because at 34 and living with my parents. Moving on making progress slowly it seems but its moving. Looking forward to my new chapter in life! Sad to see so many single people and so many generations hurt that be the x,y, xy, and start of millennial’s. Seems all strange that could not find common ground. It’s all up to you to find happiness. MADE MY ERRORS IN TRUST AND NEED TO BUILD MYSELF UP PHYSICALLY. ALSO, DO NOT CHASE WOMEN AS ONLY LEAD TO A DISASTER.

    So i was reading this article, a light bit, making good-natured fun of this generation. Ha, i can think of a few more types of single men and also the female version. By the way, also the 30-year-olds who ARE in a relationship but actually don’t like it at all, are to be pitied. In fact, it’s true for so many of us, in our quarter-life crises, unable to seize control of our lives and unable to turn it in the right direction. Blessed are those who seem to have it all figured out, their turn to doubt and look back will come, later.

    Anyway. Then i read the comments and was taken aback with the amount of vitriol and hate against women.. Wow! Are there really so many lonely, bitter young men out there? That’s very sad. Everyone who wants to give and receive love should be able to find it. But my sympathy for these men in the comments ends where:

    1. You generalize all women, “all women these days” etc. Come on, don’t be an idiot. Women come in just as many flavours as men do. There are selfish and superficial women out there, surely, just as there are kind and fun women. If your prejudice is that all women are evil then you blind yourself with hate and gloss over the good ones.
    2. You put the blame for what’s wrong with your life, or with this world, always on someone else. Take some responsibility. Blaming someone else makes you a whiny, immature person and frankly not an attractive partner. You were hurt in any situation? See what you can learn from that, try to see where you made a mistake. It’s way too easy to always point the finger without introspection.
    3. You have unrealistic demands of the kind of person who is “good enough” for you. Really you want a hot body, a fun personality, a goddess in bed, financially independent, a solid career but with enough spare time for you, a high IQ (but not so high as to overshadow you), has the same interests, no drama, loyal, generous and of course in awe of your unrecognised IQ and talents. This is not a real person you’re seeking, it’s an idealization. Get one of them waifu pillows and have fun with your fantasy. Real people have flaws, just like you have flaws. See which flaws and which mistakes you can forgive and if the other is willing to love you with your flaws.
    4. You have enormous demands on what your partner should do for you but you are unwilling to make an effort yourself. Initiative and interest in each other’s well-being should come from both sides. Which should be easy if there is sincere enthousiasm from both sides. Don’t expect something back immediately when you give something. Like sexual favours. But also gifts, or help or organising a date. Don’t feel like you’re entitled to the other person’s time/body/money. Give, trust, and be thankful to receive the same. If it remains unequal after a while, then it is time to discuss it.

    All this goes for both partners. In a heterosexual or any other type of romantic relationship.
    I find that usually you get out of it what you put into it. Both in a positive and negative way.

    I am a 38-year old female. I was single for a long time because with a severe depression I knew I didn’t have much to offer. I was okay with that, even after I worked through my depression and was prepared to be a happy single forever. Last year I met someone, now I’m very glad to be together with someone I love. He’s not perfect, just like I’m not perfect, and we have an imperfect relationship. But if we weren’t both willing to work on it and ourselves we would both still be single. I wish you all love!

      Well thought out and nice answer.

      I agree that standards are high in men, for many reasons. It is in both directions sadly.

      Then add in the impossible mental gymnastics of “its sexual harassment to hit on your colleague, roommate, fellow students or basically anyone who know who is a female you meet in public”, leading to the only answer being “online dating”, and frankly the game loses its fun.

      I’m big enough to admit I fucked up in previous relationships, and had no idea what I was doing or why. Being single for over 5 years has truly helped that. With the right woman who isn’t playing games or a completely irresponsible, I’d be quite happy. Seems the number of them is so low in western countries that we have to either line up online dating, successively lowering our standards… or we emmigrate.

      Naja, we will just see the rise of crazy-dog-geezers I think.

    What about the guy who is just to insecure to get into a new relationship because of previous experienced relationships which just completely shattered his heart… not once but twice. And still your family is wondering why you are not in a relationship. Whining about how THEY love to have grand-kids and stuff like that. Ah well, better to have loved and lost I guess.That’s waaaaaaaay better since you know what you are potentially missing…

    Used to be a 7 bordering on 1 (not that I’m so great, but the reason I was waiting for the right girl is my standards are stupid and unreasonable). I’m probably pretty firmly in the 10 category now. I don’t own a bong or an xbox or anything like that, but I’ve come to grips with the fact that if it hasn’t happened yet, it probably isn’t going to happen. Arguing with 35 years of empirical evidence just seems foolish. Best to just enjoy life as it comes and get what female companionship I need from my friends and sex from a random hookup. It could certainly be worse.

    I fall in category number 10 and that’s mainly because too many women, especially western women these days are feminazis (curse them!) and I absolutely can’t stand them. What’s more, I’m 31-year-old virgin (yes, you heard me right) and it’s embarrassing that I’m still a virgin at this age. I originally intended to save my virginity for marriage, but in the age of feminism and misandry, that’s just impossible. Fortunately, I’m planning to visit the legal brothel in Nevada this year with the intention of losing my virginity. Although my decision to lose my virginity to a prostitute may seem immoral to you, the thought of dying a virgin was just too much for me to bear.

      I hate to tell you, but with language like “feminazi” or “age of feminism and misandry”, you might be more of a virgin-5 than a 10.

      Acting like people are terrible for continuing to fight for social equivalency doesn’t, especially when you’re a part of the privileged group acting totally unaware of your own situation, doesn’t exactly endear you to others.

      So, yeah… maybe you should take a step back, research the core tenets of feminism and equality a little more, take a deep breath, and go back in to your search for the right person. She is out there for you, you maybe just need to make yourself a former 5 who has opened their mind and matured in to a 6 before you find her.

        Go tell some homeless guys living under a bridge they’re part of a ‘privileged group’

        I only need to give a single counter-example to disprove your point. That’s how hypothetical conversations work.

        There is no ‘privileged group’, beyond the wealthy upper-classes. And they’ve cleverly got us all arguing pointlessly with each other whilst they cream everything off the top, leaving the scum for the scum.

        Matt, I’m guessing you’re left wing. Which makes it worse that you think anything other than class is the determinant of ‘privilege’. Working class men do not have privilege, and indeed have less privilege than wealthier women (less educational opportunity, more danger in their work, more likely to end up homeless/addicted to drugs, die younger, worse health outcomes and spending etc). Your privilege is decided by two things in the US – class and colour. Your gender matters not a jot. The sooner we realise this and all come together as working class people, the better off we will all be.

        Anyways, I did enjoy the article :). After several bad relationships, I am number 10, though I still have much hope for the future :).

          Privilege is decided by one thing. Class. I’m a white male that has had absolutely zero handed to me. I’ve worked for everything I have.

          Nobody has ever given me anything because I’m white. No Affirmative Action hire for me. No easy to get business loans or programs like women have geared towards them. No admission to college based on skin color quota ‘ s.

          Left wing progressive beta males yapping about ‘privilege’ can stuff it up their ass.

          Come do my job for 6 months and then tell me all about my ‘privilege’.

          Take a look at how much tax I pay and yap to me about ‘privilege’.

          The thing I love the most about prog beta males are that their girlfriends are ridiculously easy to get into bed.

            I think you’re confusing your terminology. The word privilege in this context is not just anything that gives you an advantage (like wealth or good looks), it’s a systematic, complicated hierarchy that is so ingrained that most people don’t realize it exists except when it works against them.

            Like being a white woman, I have it better off than a black woman in society. I have white privilege–if I’m pulled over, no cop is going to shoot me or even assume I’ve done anything wrong, even if I’m not very polite. However, I’ll never have it as good as white men, they’ll automatically have advantages just for being white men–like being assumed to be trustworthy and having most of the people in positions of power look just like them. It doesn’t have anything to do with class–a poor white man has it worse than a wealthy black man, but a poor white man has it infinitely better than a poor black man. That’s how it works–even if everything about you is the same, same clothes, same education, same amount of money, white people have an advantage, men have an advantage, straight people have an advantage. It’s not an accusation, it’s the way the world works.

            Just for example, picture a crowd of people. Now picture a crowd of black people. Did the first group you pictured look like the second group you pictured, or was the first crowd white even though I said ‘people’ not ‘white people’? (Honor system!)*.

            *Yes, I know, this will only work with people from predominantly white countries.

        My advice: Go to either Bunny Ranch or Sheri’s Ranch in Nevada and set your budget at least $1,000. They are expensive, but trust me, they are well worth your time.

    Hells yes 10! The only way to live a decent life these days is through escapism. Look at all the stuff 1-9 fret about.

    I have none of that. The new world of warcraft expansion is really good, and I slept in for the 3700th day in a row. The only thing that sucks about being 10 is that I can’t live on pies and candy anymore. Need actual human food.

    I never see people, which is also a positive if you think about how the world suddenly became furiously right wing and angry. I don’t have time for humans at the best of times. Humans have proven lately that competition, hate, fear and rage is essentially what passes for humanity these days.

    10 is past competition. 10 knows that everyone is wasting their short lives doing jobs that could be done by computers and robots. Why do they do this? Because society tells them procration and work are the two primary drivers of everything…. Sex gets dull FAST, and working at this point in history essentially equals competing for trinkets. “Compete amongst yourselves, unwashed masses! Fight for the recognition of your superiors! And the privilege to rebuy the same items over and over because they only last a year or two!!!”

    People who are motivated by what society offers should NOT sit down and question society. Unless you want to become a 10. There are consoles right now, and games have never been better. Virtual Reality is also right around the corner.

    The time has never been riper. Embrace the sweet surrender.

    Originally posted this under the FB thread, but realized it will get buried.

    “The Poe”

    Their relationship was one for the ages. It wasn’t perfect, nothing really is (though the rosetint of memory will do that, the further in the past it was), but it was amazing. A story worthy of poetry, or at least a Nicholas Sparks movie. Talking about their relationship sounds like fiction, but it really happened. it had ups and downs, trials and tribulations, started as a will-they-or-won’t-they romcom, and when they did, it became an emmy-winning dramedy that spoke something profound about the human condition.

    And now she’s gone forever.

    Sucks to be you.

    This doesn’t necessarily have to be because of death. In the olden days, simply moving to another state could end a great relationship just as abruptly, with as much finality. But in the age of Facebook, unless someone takes extraordinary measures it’s hard to lose someone who is still breathing. Regardless, this guy is damaged goods. It doesn’t matter how long ago it happened–it could have been last year, or it could have been in high school–either way, he’s metaphorically got “Not Over It” tattooed on his forehead, and almost literally somewhere else on his body. He’s pitiable because…wow…I mean….that’s rough, buddy. However, ultimately he brings his current romantic troubles on himself by comparing all present prospects to his lost Lenoire. Out loud. On the FIRST DATE.

    I’m almost 30, and I’d consider myself on the way to be a #6. One thing I wasn’t really aware of is the attention you get from much younger girls once you actually get your appearance together. I live in a college town, and have good looking undergrad girls flirting with me all the time. This is funny, because back when I was in undergrad I basically viewed anyone older than 25 as pretty ancient.

    I’m thinking that I either look younger than my age(which is very possible), or that girls simply don’t care much about dating a guy who is almost a decade older. Whatever it is, I’m happy because there aren’t many 30 year old girls I know dating younger guys.

    Men should stop complaining about why they are single. They only ever go for the fun, flirty, swishing ponytail/bun, I’m so crazy, I’m so quirky, I love serious AND fun chat, sports, animals, good grades, crazy nights with my gal pals blah blah- kind of woman. I see it happen over and over. If you limit yourself to the characteristics above your whole life, then no relationship will be long term.

      Like my generalising? Women and Men are bother just as bad as each other. Women and Men both often go on looks first. It’s natural to be attracted to a potential mate.
      Of course there is a lot more to a relationship.

I feel like at this point I have a 10/10 personality and body, but my standards are now too high, and i also genuinely have a lot of personal projects and ambitions. Yet, I can also get laid whenever I want, but you’d be surprised how that’s not exactly the ‘problem-solver’ you can think it is, because I only want to get laid with someone amazing and incredible. These people are few and far-between, in both women and men. It’s like your reward for being progressive and fixing yourself is to lower your standards or be alone.

    If only single women were afflicted the same way as the single guys described in this list. There would be a match for all 9 of the 10 types. Of course, the Total Package types would hook up the quickest with the desperate 2 through 9’s who have less money. The only hopeless ones would be the #10 types. Alas, it’s not that way. So what’s the reason for the growing single male population?

    Not all of them are successful financially.

    In American society, people want partners with money. Of course, they know that money is not the most important thing in life, but they are practical enough to know it’s a close second. I’m saying “people” as in both hetero and gay alike. Value is attributed to something that is hard to get. For most people, a significant amount of money is hard to get versus inner qualities we are born with or simply gain just by living life.

    Knowing the reality of money is an unfortunate self-manifesting reality. Everyone who wants to gain and keep a relationship knows to strive for income that supplements their other (non-money) intrinsic qualities. Nice inner-qualities without money are just “nice” side-bonuses. Ideally, we all want partners who have inner qualities along with being well off. A rich partner may not be the first choice based on a lack of inner-qualities, but will be valued and eventually loved.

      Men don’t care whether their girlfriend has money, or career. They are only interested in how she looks and whether she is sane. The first (and probably last) question for a man: “Is she fat?” If you are a woman then you can’t speak for men, and if you are a man then you have been brainwashed into repeating things you have learned but that are untrue because you have not thought for yourself..

    I’d have to say I am number a number 10. I have a great job as a electrical engineer in Alaska, making well over six figures working in the oil industry. So I have the money to support a wife. I own a brand new house and two cars. I am also an avid gym-goer, I work out all the time and keep a very fit body. I’m also a nice person, not a social butterfly but I’m very respectful and easy to get along with. I’m actually a bit on the shy side, but I am very out going when I get to know someone.

    My only thing, I just absolutely refuse to give into the female-american expectations. How come an attractive girl has never approached me? They always EXPECT me to make the first move. I always feel like when I approach a girl, I am putting her up on a pedestal where she is looking down on me, deciding if I am worthy of her. She works at Star-Bucks for a living and she is deciding if I am worthy of her?! What exactly does she have that entitles her to stand atop a pedestal and pick and choose who is worthy of her?

    I’ve pretty much given up on American women. They are even worse in Alaska because he have an abundance of high earning males here and less females. Even the chubby ones single mothers, with no life skills whatsoever expect a man to approach them and court them.

      American women want to be valued. When a guy wants to be with them, women assume he needs to work for it. This means that the easier it is for the guy to court her, the cheaper she feels. The harder it is to get with them, the more valuable they feel. Basically, too easy means she is easy. Also, women don’t want to be pushed into a relationship, but rather they like to be won over. They like the romantic idea of “relationship by fate”, but they also don’t like guys trying to create the fateful situation. It’s all very twisted.

      Guys just want a chance to be nice to her and plan to work at keeping the relationship, assuming he’s a good partner. When a guy sees a woman he likes for the first time, he will always remember the way she looks at that moment. His attention is on the present with hope for the future. Women evaluate the man primarily for the future and his potential to match her expectations of the future.

    Great Article, Now I know why i still don’t have a girlfriend at 32. It’s because I’m looking for the perfect girl that will be worthy of my (nevermind for the sake of being humble)

    I’m a Total Package guy, they say I’m handsome (resemblance with Tom Cruise), Graduated at a prestigious school. I excel at different sports, I love playing musical instruments particularly guitar, I can sing, I lift weights to maintain my body. love reading books and loves admiring beautiful hot and sexy women. (I mean the really beautiful). despite the accepted notion that whats inside is the more important thing, I still value outward looks and beauty before personality, If a girl doesn’t interest me at first glance or within 3 seconds, I don’t wanna pursue it anymore.

    Before you judge me as an egotist or shallow, better think first, Do you know that MOST men particularly those on the Top Tier is naturally attracted to beautiful women. Nothing personal to those that are not too lovely, its just We admire beauty and aesthetics. So peace, make love not war, just voice my opinion. I’ve bookmarked this page and hoping some uber hottie would read this. Thanks.

Consider yourself forgotten. As a sign of goodwill, I will offer you this advice: stick to posting pathetic selfies on Facebook and hoping you do get a hit from an über hottie.

    You forgot the guy who has been with the same girlfriend for 10+ years and still hasn’t married her, partly out of fear, but partly because he still clings to the sliver of a chance that one day he’ll be single again and make up for all that lost time by sleeping with dozens of women. The grass is always greener, isn’t it?

      Go sleep around and see if you like it. If you do, break up with her. If you don’t, marry her.
      And don’t tell her you did it. I know this is all immoral, but it’s better than stringing her along all this time. As a woman here, I’m surpised she stuck by you. She must really love you.

    This is a blog that claims to be creeped out by the far right because their racist loons, and yet this post contains more blatant racism than you’ll ever see at a GOP rally. Claiming that the Chinese kill their daughters sounds like the type of lies the Nazis spread about Jews during WWII. The reason why there are so many “missing” girls is in China is due to gender selective abortions and unreported births. We can assume that infanticide does occur in China, because, like murder, it occurs in all countries, but there are very few documented cases of it actually happening. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find even one concrete example. As an expat living in China, I can also tell you that I’ve met many women from rural China and never heard even the slightest suggestion that infanticide is happening. I can also tell you that if you went up to the parents of a newborn girl in this country and asked them, “So, have you ever thought about drowning her?” that you’d better be able to handle both of them in a fight afterwards.

    Of course it makes total sense that a guy who has slept 214 women hates women and women hate him. Oh and those 214 women HAVE to be low self esteem trashy skanks. How else? It all fits perfectly and I detect no jealously or bitterness from the author whatsoever towards women.

    The interesting thing is at 20 there is only one group which is guys who want to get laid. As that blinding light starts to fade we see texture and shadows in the landscape. Once you get past 40 and you realise that not signing up to reproduction and lifetime partnership is a is a real and positive option, you can really do anything you want.

    Consider an alternative viewpoint on the total package. Having a great career at 30 generally means you are either incredibly driven, incredibly lucky or working for rich parents. Most people change careers at least once and a lot of people coming out of college don’t know what profession they want.These days the 30 year old is competing with grad school graduates from not only the us but in many professions the best and brightest from around the world. Having a great career at 30 is basically incompatible with being anything other than a workaholic (in the usa at least).Consider also that 2 very driven people are going to have very little time and energy for the work it takes to raise a family.I’ve seen surveys of what successful men are looking for in a woman. A great or even good career doesnt even make the top 10 (anonymous surveys so they can be honest).A very driven career minded person that wants a family at 30 is mainly going to need help. Successful men often put off raising a family until their 40s after they’ve established themselves in a career and no longer need to be a workaholic to keep up. Nature has unfortunately made this a less compelling option for the very driven career minded woman (though there are fertility treatments that can stretch things a bit).In every relationship there’s give and take but most of the happily married in their 30s couples with offspring that I’ve seen tend to either specialize (he or she postpones career ambitions and focuses on the home and family while the other focuses on career) or, rarer but it still happens, they both put their career on the back burner.

    Clever and funny but I think we can deduce two things here: The writer is female (obvious), and it appears as if a certain measure of projection is in play. All these types of men display (at least to the writer) the same defect: They aren’t marriageable material. 30yr old dudes may be married…or not. And evidence suggests that more of them are deciding (logically in my view) against. But they don’t obsess over it, and certainly don’t view it as a defect.

      I think you are missing a lot of things here. It is really great that you don’t mind being single because my guess is that you will be for quite some time. The next time you realize how stale your life is with your video games, porn, and frozen dinners I hope you think back to this post number ten. While you ponder your dull existence, there will be lots of beautiful, well rounded individuals building meaningful relationships, eating delicious dinners, and having great conversations.

      haha. wow. i don’t play video games, i cook my dinner daily, and rarely watch porn. i really have to roll my eyes when people default to these types of assumptions about a single guy. i have a lot of meaningful relationships with women, i just don’t choose to be in a relationship. is it so hard to believe that a man can have a good life without a woman?i’m not trying to say that a woman can’t either, but the facts are that womens looks are fading by the time they hit 30, if they want to land a quality guy they don’t have too much time left, especially if they want to have kids. men don’t face any of these constraints.

    6. Kimberly Davis Avatar

      These are default assumptions about all single people. Not just men. It isn’t hard to believe that a man can have a good life without a woman. It IS hard to believe that a person can live a good life without experiencing commitment and profound respect from at least one other person for an extended period of time. The fact is that both genders looks wane in the long run. A saggy scrotum is just as gross (if not grosser) as a saggy pair of tits. True, there is a time limit for having children, but who would want to have a daughter with a man that would cast her into the “ugly old maid” category after just 30 short years of life. Maybe your delusion of “Life only getting better for single men” will end when your dick stops working.

The Guy Who’s Finally a Good Catch is pretty much the best guy around. Unless he’s too busy posting “see how hot I am now” photos on FB in which case he’s a douche and probably well on his way into turning into the Total Package.

      Excellent point. People don’t understand us 10’s. We are passive and seem uncaring about fitting into roles because we have seen how fake a lot of the game is and we don’t wanna play it anymore. Once you start to become aware of this, it is frightening to try to play the game because you know that it ultimately doesn’t hold much genuine peace-of-mind. If success and relationships are tied into genuine satisfaction with life how come so many people aren’t satisfied and/or get divorced? How come that well paying job starts to suck the life out of you and you just become a shell of flesh pursuing some meaningless paper so that you can buy more shit to fill your void? What about all those famous celebrities that end up like the worn out wrecks you see on the street? These people have it all? Apparently not.

        Dude; you just need new friends. The people you surround yourself with will color your view of the world. If they are all the same type of people, they will make the whole world seem bland; if they are fake, the world appears fake.

        I used to be dead certain that you were right until I stumbled upon a group of people that broke all the “rules” in my head. I mean, I actually found a diverse group of friends that were part of a much larger network, all of whom were genuinely enjoying their lives, and I was so set in my deep, dark pessimism that I had immediately written them all off as being big fakers, because nobody is ever legit. But I hung around for a bit anyway cuz they kept inviting me to things and then I met my wife.

        When I met her and started talking to her and saw how genuine she was, the world I thought I knew just melted away. And I couldn’t believe how bright the real world is.

      I don’t know whether it is the testosterone or what but guys tend to think about these things practically (as well as romantically). An attractive guy will have lots of potential mates. Why would he want to settle down at 30? He can become a dad any time over the next 40 years. He won’t really start feeling the “hmm I don’t want to be 60 at my kid’s high school graduation” for at least another 10 years. By then he’ll be even more successful at his career (or for the wanderer no less successful) making him even more attractive (and able to attract a desirable mate).It’s kind of like the mismatch between a man’s sexual peak (somewhere around 18) and a woman’s sexual peak (typically 10 years or more later). Kinda sucks for sure but on a purely practical level a man at 30 has very little to lose and 10 years of fun to gain by putting off marriage and child rearing for 10 years.Throw in the great career type, who can afford to eat out at restaurants every night, hire someone to clean his dwelling and the like, and in purely practical terms he has lots of reasons to not get married and have a family at 30.
